2011 Photo of the year Contest- Vote Here

Monday, January 2, 2012

It’s time for my 4th annual contest! Every year it is the most difficult task to narrow down my favorite images (this year I shot 170 sessions for clients which means over 5,000 images!) I am truly grateful to all of my clients for choosing me to capture their families and I am honored to have my work displayed in so many homes. This year I have been fortunate to have had my work featured in The Ridgewood News and Bergen Health & Life Magazine. Being named the reader’s choice Best Photographer in Bergen County was certainly a highlight of my year. Having my very own beautiful studio in downtown Ridgewood is a dream come true and I am so excited about 2012.

There will be THREE winners!

(1) The client whose image has the most votes will receive a complimentary 11 x 14 canvas or gallery mount of either the image from this contest or an image of their choice from an upcoming 2012 session they have with me. Scroll down to cast your vote AFTER the last image.

(2) The 2nd place winner will receive a $100 gift certificate to put towards a session in 2012.

(3) Leave a comment on this blog post (scroll down under the last image). A comment will be selected at random and the person who submitted the comment will receive a FREE Mini Session!! The winner may either keep the prize for themselves or gift to a friend. The Mini Session will be at the studio in Ridgewood between January and May 1 2012 and you will receive 3 5×7 mini mounts.

For winner #3 one comment per person but earn an extra entry by posting about the contest on your Facebook wall

Voting will begin NOW and end on January 8th at 8pm EST.
IP addresses will be monitored – only 1 vote per person
Results will not be visible on the poll and I will announce the winner on January 8th just after 8pm

All of these are amazing Christie! You have an eye for capturing this sweet innocence in these kids- precious! I will always look at the shots from Kelly’s session and remember this time in her life! My sweet baby is growing up!ReplyCancel

Christie, words cannot express how fortunate we are to have had you capture such amazing pictures of our son. We will cherish every photo you captured. Thank you again and all of the photos are stunning but we have to select our little man number 10-handsomeReplyCancel

Being able to capture a precious moment in time is truly a blessing and a gift. All of the pictures showcase something special and unique which makes the task of choosing a winner that much more difficult. Thank you for sharing your talents!ReplyCancel

All of these pictures are beautiful! We are so thrilled that you chose our little guy (#6) as one of your favorite pics from this year. We have such wonderful memories from that photo session…you are truly amazing at capturing newborns!ReplyCancel

#11 HANDS Is a work of Art, Hands Down! No pun intended. It is similar to the iconic image of the Hand of God giving life to Adam on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. In this case, two people in Love create Life together. Gives me Goosebumps!ReplyCancel

Hi Christie! Thanks for including us. All of these photos are amazing, but I have to stay loyal to my Lucy and vote for 16. “Pink!”ReplyCancel

Christie,
You captured a very special moment in the life of my grand daughter Ellis. She is so beautiful but rarely does she pout. She’s on top of her game. Little actress perhaps #17.
